Maternity Wear - Buiness Attire

[Paula Lawlor]

Hi There
I hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.......... I was wondering after the IBW conference why I was so tired only to discover that baby no. 2 is on the way so Jan 07 is the big event

But I'm finding it really hard to find any 'business style' maternity clothes in the North West or even on-line. I've loads of the comfy combats etc but I could do with finding some 'work' stuff............... any ideas

Thanks

Paula

Congrats Paula!!! There's a shop in Dub where a friend bought all her business suits but just can think of it and as far as I know you can buy online too - leave it with me and I will ask her in a bit.

[tregan]

yes congrats paula ... trying to think of somewhere down that way - i'm a leitrimite and SIL is in sligo - i'll ask her

[Sinead]

Formes!

As far as I know there is a shop in Castlebar also - will check this for you later.

[Sinead]

Also if you want splash out the Mary Grant stuff is great - that's what I wore last time - but then again times have changed and no-one seems to mind showing off their bumps these days

Can't help but congrats Paula!

hi paula,

got this response from my SIL in Sligo.

"However there really is nothing business in Sligo. There is a shop in Galway that has a half price sale at the moment. It is in the bottom floor of the Corbett Court shopping centre and it is called Modern Mum.

There is a shop in Castlebar also has opened since my last pregnancy. Don't know the name but it should be in the telephone book.
I also found mothercare good for basic trousers and shirts. I found you are hotter during pregnancy so I didn't need much in the way of jackets."

Paula - congratulations............

Have a happy and healthy pregnancy..

There is an online shop called www.bumpbasics.ie

I am not sure if you know of a website called Magicmum.com but there is a shopping area in this where you will find bumpbasics.

Good luck.........

Thanks Noreen for the list of shops - I really appreciate it

I'm just back from Dublin where I burned up my credit card at Formes - oh the joys of retail therapy

All I need now is a mobile air conditioning unit to pull around after me in this heat

Thanks again to all of you for your good wishes.
